Optical detection system plus colposcopy yields improved detection rates.
2004 MAR 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- In a study of more than 2,000 women, a group of physicians found that detection of precancerous changes in the cervix improved by more than 26% when a new optical detection system was used in conjunction with colposcopy.
The findings, which were announced at the Society of Gynecologic Oncologist's (SGO) Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer in February 2004, are the first from a randomized, controlled, clinical trial that tested the effectiveness of the new optical detection technology.
The study examined 2,186 women in 13 clinical sites with 51 colposcopists. The researchers found that by using the optical detection system in conjunction with colposcopy, 238 cases of biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2,3 (or precancer) were identified compared to 218 cases identified through use of colposcopy alone.
Based on these results, the authors concluded that more than 100,000 additional cases of precancer could be identified each year if the optical detection system is used in conjunction with colposcopy.
"These findings are critical because when ...
